[News] The official thread: I am bored of the news coverage of...

[BLOCK F]

Oh well, it makes a change from Brexit and LGBT issues, I suppose.

 

[el punal]

Would that solve the Brexit situation? Harry would really need his stiff upper lip for that marriage.

A stiff drink and something else stiff as well . . . .

Please stop talking about the Royal engagement so starting a thread about it? Ok.

A SECOND thread about it no less

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Duke and Duchess of Sussex? Who knew?

Colourful history of the previous Duke of Sussex
If Harry and his royal fiancee do become the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, they will no doubt be interested to know that the first and only previous Duke of Sussex was Prince Augustus, sixth son of King George III.

A very quick wedding then, in the Spring? Wonder why that is??

 

[Murray 17]

The royals really hold no real significance, importance or relevance in modern day britain.....but the press still report it all day long.

... apart from the millions of £s they bring into the country through tourism!

The media will lap this up, expect wall to wall coverage, supplements in the papers (The Mail will have uber excitement over this), etc. Harry seems nice, and I'm sure she is, but I can't see him wanting loads of fuss - so let them get on with it and let this become one of the 'And finally' stories rather than royal treacle overload.

And as for Will's and Kate's third sprog. I wasn't that interested in no1 or 2, but 3 will just be the Edward of this generation.

5th in line for the throne or something like that so really just a minor royal. So we get wall to wall news coverage. Why its so boring.

Meanwhile nothing about the Irish issue, the Popes visit to Burma, the volcano in Bali.

Personally I think the FA took the engagement as good time to announce that Kung Fu Lukaku was not to be banned so they could avoid the uproar on their decision.

 

[Frutos]

The only possible mild point of interest is whether we're going to get a day off for it.

We won't.

 

[edna krabappel]

Must have mis-heard it but I'll swear that it sounded as if Prince Harry was marrying Angela Merkel.

Germans? In our royal family? Are you MAD?

Then I'm out.

I have this feeling that feminism is going to creep into the Royal family and Charlotte will be the strong sister while her brother abdicates or dies mysteriously. Since Charlotte will be the first female to take the throne and have a younger brother, there will be a fight with her very old Uncle Harry and her younger brother for the power in the palace. Unfortunately Charlotte will have a liking for crystal objects and after building a new palace the monarchy will end.

Because there will be certain failure with a Crystal Palace.

Astronomical.

 

[Bulldog]

All news has been cancelled and replaced with a 24/7 party political broadcast on behalf of the rule by unelected multi millionaires party. Who said democracy was dead?

 

[Perfidious Albion]

O K, on a human level.... I wish them well. But why the hell should I be interested?
(Yawn)

As an actor she must have got her norks out at some point surely ? That would make the whole thing slightly more interesting !
